Adaptability is destiny: Why change is critical in the age of AI
In recent months, debate around AI investment has raised uncomfortable questions about the gap between organisational ambition and real-world impact. Rather than signalling failure, this moment presents an opportunity to rethink what successful adoption really requires. This Breakfast Briefing will examine why effective implementation is rarely a technology problem and more often a question of organisational capability — your people, your culture and your ability to adapt. It will argue that the greatest returns from AI will come not from automating existing ways of working, but from fundamentally reimagining where and how businesses create value.
